CLASSES, CAMPS & ACTIVITIES

Summer Fun For Adults

This season doesn’t have to be just about your kids! Find something that relaxes, inspires or even challenges you during these summer months. If you’re interested in getting in touch with your inner artist, consider Watercolor, Drawing, Painting and Sculpture, Art Journaling, Modern Calligraphy, Zen Doodling and Knitting. These classes can be a wonderful place to gather with friends and make art. If toe tapping is of interest to you, then try our adult Belly Dancing, Tap, or couples dances including Line Dancing and the New Millennium Cowboy Cha Cha. If getting your hands dirty sounds fun, then try one of our pottery hand building classes. For more information, please call 303-471-8853.
